Chapter 6- Bread

We all have heard the saying,”it’s the best thing since sliced bread”
If you haven’t you heard it first here. Do you know the difference between whole wheat, whole grain? Whole wheat bread is better for your health than white bread and wheat bread. It is made up entirely of wheat kernels with no other grains involved. Whole grain has all types of grains mixed in it. Elijah Muhammad(pbuh) stated in his book that whole wheat is preferred over whole grain. He stated that whole grain is too much on our digestive system.

Bread is made with flour and as previously mention grains. The bread that use the white flour he say’s to avoid it all costs. White flour has none of it nutrients. I wonder if these nutrients are being added back into bread manually? He blames this on the white race and once again blew me away with stating such claim. I had to remember that he wrote this book at a time when blacks were just being freed from slavery and their life dependency was majority in the hands of a few white slave owners. This is his perspective and it differs slightly today because people have a choice of what food they want to take into their bodies. The slaves in America did not have that liberty and they taught their children once freed to eat as they did while in captivity. His book could have helped many black people to correct that error once freed?

You know, as well as I, that the white race is a commercializing people and they do not worry about the lives they jeopardize so long as the dollar is safe ~Elijah Muhammad

Corn bread, hot cakes and syrup, fresh hot corn muffins especially when it is not cooked completely it shortens your life span. I really like hot cakes and syrup and I eat all these things that he was taught not to eat and he stated that it hurts our intestinal walls. He stated it should be cooked at least two or three times. He backed rye bread as long as it is cooked properly. He also said rye bread is good for people who moves around a lot and not just sit most of the day.

As we all know when you eat you have to exercise to maintain your health. Did you know that a lack of exercise affects how well your digestive system work? In America, today people are able to decide what they will eat and how well they will care for their selves. The people who are able. I don’t feel that there is a specific group that anyone can point the blame to for their diet. That may have been the case back then but it is no longer an issue today.
